<h3 class="heading3">Setting Up Subdomains</h3>
<p class="bodytext">To set up a subdomain:</p>
<ol class="procedurelistnumber"><li class="procedurelistnumber">On your Home page, click the <strong class="specialbold">Subdomains</strong> icon.</li><li class="procedurelistnumber">Click the <strong class="specialbold">Add New Subdomain</strong> icon.</li><li class="procedurelistnumber">Type the subdomain name as desired. <p class="listcontinue">This can be, for example, a topic of your site, organization department, or any other combination of letters, numbers and hyphens (up to 63 characters in length). The subdomain name must begin with an alphabet character. Subdomain names are case insensitive.  </p>
</li><li class="procedurelistnumber">If this subdomain will hold a part of your own Web site that you manage on your own, leave the <strong class="specialbold">Use the FTP user account of the parent domain</strong> option selected. If this subdomain will hold a separate web site that will belong to or will be managed by another person, select the <strong class="specialbold">Create a separate user account for this subdomain</strong> option, and specify the login name and password that will be used for accessing the web space through FTP and publishing web site content.</li><li class="procedurelistnumber">If this subdomain will require secure transactions, select the <strong class="specialbold">SSL support</strong> checkbox. <p class="listcontinue">Then, the SSL certificate installed under the parent domain will be used for encrypting transactions. By default, when you publish the site, you need to upload the web content that should be accessible via secure connections to the <code class="monospace">httpsdocs</code> directory, and the content that should be accessible via plain HTTP, to the <code class="monospace">httpdocs</code> directory. For your convenience, you can choose to publish all content through a single location – <code class="monospace">httpdocs</code> directory. To do this, select the option <strong class="specialbold">Use a single directory for housing SSL and non-SSL content</strong>.</p>
</li><li class="procedurelistnumber">Specify the programming languages in which your web site is developed. <p class="listcontinue">Otherwise, your web site may not function properly. For example, if your web site is written mainly in ASP and uses some applications written in PHP, such as those from the Application Vault, select the <strong class="specialbold">ASP support</strong> and <strong class="specialbold">PHP support</strong> check boxes.</p>
</li><li class="procedurelistnumber">If you wish to limit the amount of disk space that can be occupied by web content under this subdomain, type the desired value in megabytes into the <strong class="specialbold">Hard disk quota</strong> box. <p class="listcontinue">When the specified limit is exceeded, you will not be able to add files to the web space, and editing existing files may corrupt them.</p>
</li><li class="procedurelistnumber">To complete the setup, click <strong class="specialbold">OK</strong>. <p class="listcontinue">It may take up to 48 hours for the information on new subdomain to spread in the Domain Name System and become available to the Internet users. </p>
</li></ol><p class="bodytext"></p>
<p class="bodytext">To publish web content to the subdomain's web space, follow the instruction presented in the <a id="h16774" class="jumptemplate" title="Creating and Publishing Your Site" href="15325.htm" target="_self">Publishing Your Site</a> section.</p>
